CONGRESSIONAL
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-The bill passed
by the senate to-day for the adjustment
Of railroad land grants and for the forfeit
ure of unearned lands, is substantially
identical with the bill introduced by SEN
ator Plumb as a substitute for q kindred
bill passed by the house.
The senate amendments to the Pacific
railroad investigation resolution. with a
single exception, are understood to be ac-
ceptable to the house committee on Pa
cidc railroads, but the clause providing
tor the appointment of commissioners by
the president 'by and with the advice
and consent of the senate" is regarded
as 80 Objectionable that q conference is
necessary. The president has intimated
that if the words ''by and With the con-
sent Of remain in the resolution, he can.
not appoint the commissioners before the
assembling Of the next congress. His
reason for so holding is that according to
to a decision of the attorney general, the
resolution does not create such an Office as
can be filed when congress is not in ses-
siou.
The bill to prevent the employment of
convict and alien labor upon public works,
and convict labor In the preparation of
materials for public works, passed by the
senate to-day, has already passed the
house and now goes to the president.
The house arbitration bill, passed by
the senate to-day, is a bill introduced by
Representative O'Neill, of Missouri. 1t
was somewhat amended by the house, but
was not amended by the senate 1t now
only requires the signature of the presi-
dent to make it a law.

New Milford Cattle ShO W

At meeting of the New Milford Agri- cultural Association, held on Saturday, Sept. IT, it was voted that the vote in regard to premium list, passed at the the last meeting, be rescinded and that the premium list as printed in the New Milford Gazette be withdrawn.
 There will be but one day of the fair this year, Friday, Sept. 30, and it is the intention to make it almost exclusively 8 cattle show, only few premiums being offered for fruit, grain and vege- tables, and none for exhibits in the hall.
 Entries must be made at secretarys' office before II o'clock.
 If the day be fair and attendance enough, races will be made up on the grounds.
 Catching a greased pig and climbing greased pole will be the leading fea- lures for fun, and will take place about 2 p. m.- New Milford Gazette.
 The revised premium list, as publish ed in the last issue of The Gazette, amounts to only $94.5O. Last year the Rev T. J. Lee delivered the annual address, and in view of the. lack o1 interest taken in the agricultural fair, he jocosely advised the farmers to en. gage in sea serpent farming. Example is better than precept. Within the yea, the dominic has demonstrated that al though interest in ag'iculurm fairs may be waning. yet there is no lack of inter est in "the fair" of New Milford, fol recently not only the dominic, the edi tor, the lawyer and host of others have become life members, but it is reported that 14 more weddings are now upor the tapis.

WILLEIx THINGS JUST RIdHT
The promise Of the National par
ty to our adopted citizens, as set
forth in their platform, to refer to
some tribunal the determination Of
their right to participate in per
capita distributions is too thin TO
cast a shadow or TO possess the
merits of ''stick 'em fast" fly
catcher. In the first place there
is no court except such as we have
to which the case could be referred.
That being the fact their right to
any moneys is already settled
against them by existing laws and q
Joint resolution that defines their
status as citizens of the country.
If to any court ofthe United States,
permission to do such a thing
must be first obtained. This
would require an act of congress.
Should such suit ever be made
possible, no party, not even the
nation itself, will be first to move
in the matter. Defendants to a
suit never do. The entire nation,
as a government, must appear as
defendants, aud not any particular
party that may happen to be in
power. No acquiescence on part
of the nation to such a suit will cut
any figure. The adopted citizens
will be plaintiffs and the nation
will be summoned TO answer to
their complaint, and prosecution
must be made and defense set up.
The suit will be decided accord
ing to its merits, without any vir-
tues attaching to any particular
party as to its termination.
Such a promise is not in the
power of any party to fulfill, be-
cause such a suit at law is at the
discretion and within the power of
the adopted citizens, despite the
consent or opposition of any party.
